Lebanon Is Burning, Literally This Time..

Wide swathes of Lebanon from the North to the South are burning in wild fires. Deir el Qamar is reportedly surrounded by flames.

Emergency workers across Lebanon are mobilized and calls for citizens to help with water tanks are spreading throughout the radio waves.

Rumors of arson are rife as the fires have started simultaneously, at night, and in non contiguous regions. Some have even started to blame Syria (after all, Assad did threaten to burn Lebanon didn’t he?), but authorities are asking for caution, as some of these places have witnessed wild fires before.
